Fulham have been working on set pieces ahead of the Derby game, but Slavisa Jokanovic admits they've only had a full squad for the past couple of days after the international break.

The Whites fell to a 2-0 defeat in their previous game before the international break against Wolves and were undone by two set pieces, while another set piece was their undoing at Aston Villa.

Jokanovic said that they side were always working on set pieces, but they had found it difficult over the break as a result of the number of players that were absent from the squad as a result of international call-ups.

However, they have been working to improve in the days they have been together and Jokanovic insists his side are prepared for the visit of Derby.

He said: "Yes, we are working always about penalties, set pieces and offensive set pieces where we weren't dangerous enough and at the end this is question about the break, we know we are only had a complete team the past two days but we are working to prepare for the game and focused in this situation.

"We weren’t strong or good enough against Wolves, they deserved to win the game, but on one side we stopped three of the more dangerous offensive players in the Championship and we didn’t find a problem with them.

"The defensive line played well but they punished us after their offensive set pieces, to be honest when someone scores a goal you can't avoid this situation, you are disappointed and dissatisfied but in both situations they were delivered very well and attacked very well.

"I cannot blame my players, we are not the strongest team in this situation, in the same way against Aston Villa they opened the game after this kind of situation.

"We must be available to improve and we must be available to be solid and stronger in this situation and on the other side, understand our characteristic of this team too."
